Lucid Absinthe Creator Ted Breaux, In His Own Words

“For me, [Lucid Absinthe] is art. I can’t paint… making absinthe is my painting. A big alembic is my easel.”

“The finest original absinthes were — and should always be — artisanaly-crafted, completely natural distillations and infusions of whole herbs. That is how it was crafted in the 19th century, and it is how we [at Lucid] do it today. We even use antique absinthe making equipment.”

“The most common misconception about [Lucid] Absinthe is that we removed the grande wormwood. The truth is we actually use a lot of it. Furthermore, it is not a hallucinogenic.”

 

“What I like about my job is that it never feels like a proper job, although it’s packed with unceasing challenges. What I like about [Lucid Absinthe] is that we deliver what we advertise.”

“Artisanal absinthe like Lucid obtains its natural color from whole plants. Industrial absinthes are colored with artificial dyes that are usually listed on the label.”
